Keyboard shortcut

[gamburg]

Hey, any way to set a keyboard shortcut to open Jot? I love Jot's simplicity -- but the lack of a way to open/close the app using a shortcut made me turn to a different app.

I was going to try it, but I need that!

1. Save this AppleScript as an application

tell application "System Events"
	tell process "Jot"
		click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
	end tell
end tell

2. Create an Automator Quick Action to Launch that saved application
3. Create a keyboard shortcut in the services section for that quick action

Along the way you will probably need to grant accessibility access to Jot and the AppleScript you create.

It's a bit clunky and slow, but this worked for me.

Another approach might be to update this app to expose a function that toggles the menu (then you can just use a normal custom keyboard shortcut) —but I'm not sure how to do that.
